Advent-ures in advent!

To those on my flist who celebrate Yule at the solstice, I hope you all have a wonderful day! 

Today is a bit auspicious, astrologically speaking: both the solstice and a lunar eclipse. I took a photo of the eclipse just after moonrise in Sydney, sadly a little after totality (couldn't be seen from here), though, having said that, there'd be little point taking a photo at a total eclipse ...



As to the fabbo Christmas lights we saw the other night, here's a shot:


The tree is made of LED flex with hazard lights and recycled plastic cones over orange hazard mesh:


And the trunk is old milk crates:


It's champion!

The tree looks awesome!

My brother and I saw the eclipse as the moon was about half visible after the eclipse. There was too much low lying cloud until about 7:15pm or so and then it slowly became more visible as the cloud shifted.

There's supposed to be another one in July and December 2011
